I was told by @proffrink that google has been basically nuking all emails that the forums send out. Until that is fixed - you're not getting any emails from the forums. And don't try and change your email address in your account settings - you will never receive the verification email and will be locked out from the forums.

Sounds like we've got a new Mr_No_Face here. Full of piss'n'vinegar and holier than thou opinions. I miss him and his insults towards older players. Good times.

Ouch. So only feasible for Distributors or big retail companies like Patrolbase - who had a turnover of £8.6m last year.

Knew it. I know of two Imax B6 charger-related fires within a 5 mile radius of my house. One fire gutted a garage full of RC planes - the other an entire room of a house with all his RC cars with it. You were lucky.

+1 for HobbyRC. Always had great service from them. I have a IDST D2 Mk2 which I like very much - but complete overkill for Airsoft batteries - I also use it for RC (Aircraft) packs so it justifies the expense for my needs. I would go SkyRC S65 if I didn't have an existing 12v DC Power supply, or the more feature-rich IDST Q6 Nano if I did. The SkyRC T100 is a basic, but compelling (for the price) option for dual-channel charging and worth considering @Pollynator_bravo2 What charger was it? Would love to find out.

In an era where G&G Raiders are £220 now (like - WTF, seriously G&G?!?) - this is still a pretty good deal for a full-metal 'long' rifle with reasonably well regarded internals. Not quite the bang-for-buck of the 904x series though.

Nice one - thanks for that info.

None that I know of (I'm in Christchurch, so the forest is only 5mins away for me) - but if you join the Facebook group Dorset Airsoft Community - there's a couple of Techs on there. It also depends on which side of the Forest you live - If it's the Southampton end you might be able to find a tech or shop that can do it in Hampshire. What are you looking to 'upgrade'? Some things such as hop rubber/units/barrels are simple to do yourself, motors are relatively straightforward - depending on the Specna model (Edge grips don't like aftermarket motors much).

In the market for a new ('not-an-M4') RIF and I keep circling back to this one and it's now on my 'short-list'. Question is - how is the Falcon ETU at handling 11.1v LiPos out of the box? How has the unit generally held up with use?

£150 for a re-sprayed, ex-boneyard gun with missing bits (rear sight and stock battery cap) - that used to be sold (until recently) for £120-140 new.....oh, you also have to cover the postage. There's far better BRAND NEW guns for that money.

Nope. Completely different designs. Army Armament R85: Source: Video V3 Trigger Switch: *Edit* - the Army Armament is a direct clone of the G&G L85 - you should be able to use a G&G switch unit

No idea, Proffrink told me this:

Bit hyperbolic, it doesn't actually 'break' your account, but it stops you from using it. I've spent the last 4 days completely locked out of my account because I changed the email address on my profile. Basically, the forum's emails are being blocked by google so verification emails are not coming through to the users - leaving you in a 'pending validation' limbo and unable to post or access your PMs. I was able to contact @proffrink via Discord, and it's now been sorted for me - thanks for that. So..... avoid anything to do with changing your emails in your profile for the time being!

Personally, if I was at NAE or any Airsoft bootsale, I would price up slightly on the expectation that people will want to haggle the price down.

The back of the trigger looks hollow. I would be 3D printing a bump stop and gluing it into the back of the trigger personally, but a chunk of plastic filed to the right shape should also do it.

Oh fucking hell. Better change my password just in case.

Oh, I get it what he's doing. But didn't LBX try to do the same thing? Designing their own (more interesting) patterns specifically for their gear with the help of Hyperstealth. All have been long discontinued. But I'm sure the Novritsch fanbois will be creaming their pants at this new pattern he's peddling.

Meh. I don't like the colouring/pattern on the actual photos. And I don't like the idea of a sole-source manufacturer of a Camo's gear. It seems like it's Novritsch or nothing if you want a matching chest rig, plate carrier, pouches etc further down the line. At least Multicam (in it's various guises and 'similar-but-not' knock-offs), Pencott, ATACs et al gives you options from different kit manufacturers.

Was at UCAP Valiant yesterday - and some of the staff playing the day along with some of the regulars and friends. The day's reffing staff made the effort to ensure that there was roughly equal numbers of players with experience of the site on each team. The day went smoothly and the playing staff received their fair share of eliminations from the game throughout. Probably the best day of airsoft I've had in years TBH. So while yes, favouritism does happen, it shouldn't on a decent, well managed site.

Never seen one being used by site staff either in all the times I've been there. It's the only site I've never been chrono'd at. Ironically - GZ Urban at Sopley used to be super hot on chronoing - with a strict 328fps (1j) limit. That was fun when every retailer (including Z1) was aiming to kick their guns out at around the 340-350fps mark for woodland use and QD gearboxes were not a 'thing' yet. I saw guys rock up with brand new Combat Machines etc bought from Z1 themselves just a couple days before, unable to use them on the Urban site as they were 10-15fps too hot. Good times.

They can't, not with 300 players, let alone 3000. It's just lip-service.

Not everyone needs drugs and alcohol in their lives to get their kicks, or use as a coping mechanism. I know I don't. And I don't consider myself old at 40. Just the smell of the 'herbs' being smoked is pretty disgusting to me. Never liked it as kid when my parents (and later my siblings) smoked it. I certainly can't stand it now.

Sounds like something like this is what you are after: https://www.robotshop.com/uk/low-voltage-cutoff-switch.html Might be a bit chonky to fit inside a gun though.

Mk5 Thunderflash holder to go on the front of my chest rig. Velcro backed - it'll have a loop of shock cord to provide tension.
